Core i7-8650U vs Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U specs and performance
In our benchmarks, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U beats the Core i7-8650U in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-8650U in all gaming tests too.
In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has significantly more cores than the Core i7-8650U. Indeed, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-8650U. It also has more threads than the Core i7-8650U. Our comparison shows that the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-8650U. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. In terms of cache, the Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U has significantly more L2 cache when compared to the Core i7-8650U. However, both these chips have the same amount of L3 cache.
Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-8650U has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
